When you run a Microsoft Office XP program, the file CTFMON.EXE (Ctfmon) runs in the background, even after you quit all Office programs.
Ctfmon.exe monitors the active windows and provides text input service support for speech recognition, handwriting recognition, keyboard, translation, and other alternative user input technologies.

Reason: More clarification in the title now

Not sure if this works for everybody but whenever my client tends to crash/is crashing I go to task manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL or CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and I shutdown CTFMON.EXE (at processes)
After you've shut down that process Conquer runs smoothly again in an instant.
Mods, please sticky this until TQ fixes the client crashing themselves.

Note: CTFMON.EXE is a Windows XP process, so if you're on Vista and experience client crashes (since last few patches) I don't know the solution.
